We are honored to announce that ICS was recognized with a STEP Platinum Award for our commitment to safety at ABC NorCal`s Excellence in Construction Awards Gala earlier this month!
To achieve STEP Platinum status, companies must demonstrate exceptional safety performance with incident rates well below industry averages and development of a quality safety program.
This prestigious achievement recognizes our unwavering dedication to ensuring every ICS team member returns home safely each day. Safety isn`t just a policy at ICS, it`s part of our company culture. From comprehensive training programs to site inspections and proactive hazard identification, we`ve implemented a multi-layered approach that makes safety second nature in everything we do.
Our sincere thanks to Associated Builders and Contractors Northern California Chapter for this recognition. Stay safe everyone!
As National Construction Safety Week comes to an end, we at ICS are re-affirming our commitment to the health and safety of our team, our ICS family!
Every week is a safety week, because quality routine health and safety practices, procedures, and trainings bring our people home safely each and every day. Stay safe everyone!
What a privilege it was to welcome our valued clients to the 28th Annual Professional Environmental Management Association (PEMA) Charity Golf Tournament!
For nearly two decades now, 18 years to be exact, ICS has maintained our commitment as a Platinum Sponsor of this exceptional event. We enjoyed reuniting with our team members at Hole 1, where they had their own party going! Great company, friendly competition, and perhaps a few stray golf balls made for a day filled with memorable moments!
The PEMA tournament stands apart as a unique opportunity to connect with industry friends and colleagues while supporting vital community causes. All proceeds from this memorable day benefit two outstanding organizations: St. Vincent Meals-On-Wheels and YMCA Community Services of Orange County. At ICS, we cherish community involvement and are grateful for the chance to make a difference in our communities through great events like this one!

Our NorCal project teams have carried out an impressive environmental engineering feat - a tented remedial excavation at our remediation site in Emeryville, CA!
The team constructed a 12,600 square foot tent structure featuring a specialized hybrid anchoring system that combined helical screw anchors with above-ground ballasts to accommodate varying ground elevations. This engineering marvel required extremely detailed specifications and special inspections throughout installation. To ensure safety and containment, our teams constructed a tent ventilation system that maintains negative pressure and features comprehensive scrubbing of air particles through a three-layer filtration system using dual 20,000 CFM blowers (40,000 CFM total), creating over 4 air exchanges per hour throughout the enclosed space.
Standing 52 feet tall, the structure allowed our crews to operate heavy equipment inside while excavating, stockpiling and safely disposing of 2,720 tons of non-hazardous and 1,800 tons of hazardous soil - work that at times required Level B PPE protection protocols as pictured below. We are proud of our team`s technical execution on this challenging project!
Today we are celebrating 26 years of building trust and lasting relationships!
April 30th marks not only the incorporation anniversary of Innovative Construction Solutions but also represents the day our founding vision took shape! On this special date in 1999, Co-Founders John R. White and Hirad Emadi, P.E. established a different kind of construction company, whose commitment to excellence paired with our core values created the foundation upon which the entire ICS family has grown and flourished. We are humbled looking back at our journey as an organization and take incredible pride in our current standings.
Thank you to all our valued team members, partners, and clients for being an essential part of our journey – your trust and partnership made our 26th year of success possible.
This Earth Day, we honor our commitment to restoring and protecting our planet through innovative remediation and restoration solutions. At ICS, we are privileged to play a role in preserving and building a sustainable planet for future generations through each project we undertake!
Our SoCal project teams continue to advance our soil remediation project in Pomona, CA, and are beginning work on restoration tasks. The remediation work on this project required specialized excavation techniques including ABCD slot-cutting methods with daily slurry backfilling. Our scope included removal and recycling of approximately 1,500 tons of concrete/asphalt pavement, demolition of a block wall, excavation of approximately 10,000 tons of impacted soil containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), metals (mainly lead and arsenic), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), loading and disposal of excavated materials, and import and placement of over 10,000 cubic yards of clean backfill material to restore all remedial excavations. The team has maintained comprehensive and continuous dust control during all excavation and loading operations. Fantastic work team!
We are experts in turnkey construction of various in-situ remediation systems for containment and extraction/treatment of vapor and/or groundwater. Our team brings over 25 years of experience with this work, executing project with precision and safety, while delivering value-added solutions along the way – from proposal preparation, to pre-construction, to scope implementation phases of each project. We`re fortunate to work with clients who entrust us with their environmental remediation needs, and we`re dedicated to delivering quality results on every project we undertake!
